Maya Ubud, Ubud, Bali

$$$$

Concierge.com's insider take:

Set on 25 acres of landscaped tropical forest crowning a hill between two river valleys, the 108-room Maya Ubud harmonizes with its wild surroundings without resorting to the clichéd faux-temple architecture that mars many of its corporate competitors. Pool villas have an inviting homey quality, as if you're staying at the guest cottage of an affluent friend, with private gardens that overlook the valley. Even the standard rooms are generously laid out like junior suites, with platform king beds, small living rooms, and balconies with views of the river valley and rice fields. Every major resort in Ubud has a spa, but none can match the setting of this one: It's located 100 feet below the hotel on the banks of the rugged Petanu River. The trio of restaurants serve up international, Asian, and spa cuisine. And if you ever tire of relaxing in the tropical wild, civilization is only a five-minute drive (or short walk) away in the village of Ubud.—Jamie James
